研究目的
To investigate the effect of interstimulus frequency on the photopic negative response (PhNR) in the clinical electroretinogram (ERG) in glaucoma and healthy eyes.
研究成果
An interstimulus frequency of 2 Hz is optimal for PhNR recording, balancing test time and signal quality. Higher frequencies reduce the PhNR amplitude and may limit clinical utility for longitudinal monitoring.
研究不足
The study was performed at one intensity of moderate luminance; differences might occur with brighter stimuli. Test times were kept manageable, but only a single intensity was used, which may not cover all clinical scenarios.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used a repeated-measures design to compare ERG responses at different interstimulus frequencies (1-5 Hz) in glaucoma patients and controls. Custom Matlab scripts were used for data processing, including bandpass filtering and detrending.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Participants included 15 with open-angle glaucoma and 20 age-matched controls recruited from clinics, with specific inclusion and exclusion criteria.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
RETeval handheld ERG device, DTL-like electrodes, gold-cup electrodes, radiometer for calibration, and pharmacological agents for pupil dilation.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Participants were light-adapted, pupils dilated, and ERGs recorded with red flashes on a blue background at randomized frequencies, with breaks between sessions.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Amplitudes and implicit times of ERG components were measured, and statistical analysis included ANOVA, Tukey's test, and AUC calculations.
